There will NEVER be another generation like the 70-80's!! Our generations music will always rule the world ☝️! 🎶🎵🥁🎸🤘👍👏👏
you are mighty right sir !!! whos the other rythm guitar man i cant remember ???
is Blair Thornton@@FrankChesser
Perfectly said !
Amen brother
True. It was a time With true happiness....
The only problem with this song is it’s about 3 hours too short.
You got that right brother!!
This video and Chicago in Tanglewood w/ Terry Kath just crushing 25 or 6 to 4
@@jamesmcdermott1808 just watched that video. Never heard of that guy before. Pretty insane. He can solo forever. He’s Probably still going right now.
😮
Good One!
Randy's guitar solo in the bridge is a work of art. Not very many songs released for pop radio dedicated so much time for a lengthy solo like that, but it was just too good to shorten down. Many kids, like myself, learned how to air guitar from this record. 🎸
robbie's sycnopated fills are perfect for it too. I always loved this song.
A Solo for the Ages!!One of the Greatest Guitar Solos ever
Randy Bachman Is a musical genius. He's playing that cool jingle jangle disco style rhythm & slams that Strat into OVERDRIVE for the BADDEST HOTTEST SOLO🎸🔥KUDOS Mr Bachman👉🍺🍕🎸BTO Gets me up in the morning to the Alarm Clocks warning👍🤠🌵⏰️Take the 8:15 into the City✌️😁🍺
There was a story about Randy’s guitar 🎸 that was stolen from him. And he ended up finding it something like 40 years later, it was found in Japan, and he got it back somehow.😂
Brings me so many memories myself ❤💞❤️
My favorite rock band - two vikings leading the band and all rock and roll - unforgettable!
Vikings ?? hilarious, they are Winnipeg Canadians 🙂
Fred Turner could have played Hagar the Horrible.
Viking ancestry, clearly@@jackbeam56
"VIKINGS"...
How APPROPRIATE!
YES, they reminded me of Tough Characters that were going to Champion and Fix the World's MESS!!!
😂 ❤
Te mmste
One of the most underappreciated gutar solos in rock history.
Definitely
I love it too but would have loved it more with some distortion pedal.
Rest in peace, Robin Bachman --- February 18, 1953 - January 12, 2023 😥🥁💔
@@ranchlife8128, those guys were definitely motivators of a large part of the antics I got into as a wild eyed kid.;)
I didn't know , very sad , starting to see all my teenage idols pass away one by one 😢
Is the real name Robin
@@robintaylor485 Yes given name Robin, according to his obit. I was quite sure, not 100%.. now I am so thx for asking. Apparently my earlier reply was deleted because it had a hyperlink in it.
Always wondered what he was doing with that drumstick high in the air. Guess I’ll never find out. 😢
Fred Turner had the greatest growl since John Fogerty!
'Fred'? I prefer 'CF' - sounds more like a train.
Saw CCR right after the release of BC, sat on the first row of the floor of a gym with him standing right in front of me and he played and sang BC as if straight from the LP. Don’t forget John Kay. His growl wa unique.
I saw BTO in 1975 at the Ottawa Civic center. I was 14. It was my second concert the Beach Boys were my first the year before. Say Bowie in Montreal in February 1976. And saw many more Dylan and Clapton in 1978 ELO in 1977 J Giels Band. Santana The Who in 1980 and the Stones 6 times The Eagles and so many more I can’t even begin I used to go to about 3 or 4 concerts a year plus lots of small shows. Levon Helm Mick Taylor Buddy Guy The Police cheers from Montreal
Love Fred Turners vocals. no one sounds like him.
He looks like a yeti with that big fur collar 😁 good old rock and roll.
Your so right!!
I didn't know his Rickenbacker was a single pickup
@todisom7141
😅🤭
I actually just saw Bachman with a pick up band. He has Mick Della Vee on bass and vocal. He (Mick) not only nails Turner’s voice on this song, but also nailed Cumming’s voice on These Eyes and Laughing!!
When this was blasting in the car it was difficult to obey the speed limit!!
I got my first ticket rocking to this song. In high school, driving my '69 Olds 442 four speed. Oh yeah!
I saw these guitar playing lumberjacks in Glasgow back in the 70's and the support band was Thin Lizzy. What a show! 🏴
Canada's greatest band, don't care what nobody says, got a absolute Viking on vocals.
I dint kno they were a Canadian band. Thanks for sharing that 👍
I'm not arguing they're not great but... with bands such as Heart, April Wine, Triumph, The Guess Who (which is the band Randy came from) and of course Rush, the argument can be made that there are a lot of great acts and its difficult to qualify the greatest because they're all different genres.
Peace out.
@Savatage1964 That's absolutely true, but I don't think Heart are Canadian, I'm going on how. Consistent they were, for example "Not Fragile" had no stinkers, (BTO had a few of those), also what I said is just one man's opinion.
@jasonferguson6753 Appreciate your position. Thanks for replying. 👍
EDIT: Also seems to be confusion about Heart after further inspection.
Some sources say Seattle, others Vancouver so...I dunno.
Not just any Viking, but a true Berserker!
Arguably the greatest rock and roll song of all time! Just unbelievable!
Right up there with Rock and Roll Parts 1 & 2
I love driving down the highway blasting this great tune, a true road song, thanks for posting this gem!!
I had a set of Mind blowers in my Pinto. I'd be bouncing off the windows😊😊😊
Awesome drummer❤
RIP Robbie Bachman.
Song of my youth
Fred Turner looking like a grizzly bear.
He’s wearing a blonde colored grizzly bears fur on his coats collar. For sure he does!
Rock n Roll doesn't get any better than this!!
Raise your hand if you bought BTO's Greatest Hits back in the day.... on 8-Track!!!!
*Yes...I did*
It’s still stuck in the player.
@canamrider07 😅😅 That's pretty funny but 8-tracks never got stuck. The analog tape may have gotton wound around the capstan but in the end they never got "stuck".
Still have it - on cassette !
On CD in the 90s.
Yes I did , and I have the cd
❤ from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 these guys still rock world wide in September 2024 ❤
In memory of Rob Bachman, who kept the beat going and became part of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s success. “Roll On Down The Highway” remains my all-time favorite BTO song.
Mine, too!
Man, that guy may not have been the most complex player but his playing blended seamlessly into the songs. Kind've like Ringo. RIP Robbie, you're already missed.
If there was ever a man's band, brother, you're looking at them!
Man did I love this song when it was released !!!!
This song brings tears to my eyes!! So beautifully written and arranged! And such amazing raw power and energy!
Me too Mike. These were the best of my years :(
I love ❤️ this music 🎶 🎵, the 70's were the best of times,the songs 🎵 ❤️ just moved you.They were apart of your youth and brought special memories and good times 🎉🎉
Love that song being a truck driver for 32 year's .
Lotta good "truckin" songs, and this one has got to be #1 !!
Ditto, since 1991
That song reminds me of cruising around in my buddy's 69 396-375 hp Chevelle SS looking for street races in the Rubber City. Lots of muscle cars on the main drags and the song fit the times! This is probably one of my favorites from the band. 'Ain't Seen Nothin Yet' was peaking on the AM stations when I got my first car, a 66 Chevelle Malibu sport coupe! We were lucky to have lived in such an era.
Got 3 speeding tickets in 2 weeks while this was on the radio.
Of all the songs I recall, cranking this one in my car 🚙 flying down the highway listening to CJAY 92.1fm ~ one of the greatest summers ~ I’ll never, ever forget.😍❤️☀️⛅️ ❤
Blessed to be born and then raised on this kinda music❤
This album dropped when I was a senior in high school. Good times 😊
I love the vocalists outfit. That`s exactly how i imagine a canadian man who can survive without problems an arctic winter in the wilderness.
Canadian rock at its best!
The 70's....Greatest decade for Rock....Hands Down....!
No doubt !
agree...
it was awesome
When men were men.
@@MAXIMUSMINIMALISTStop whining please; it’s not very manly
70’s Aerosmith, Nazareth, Early Heart, BTO, Ted Nugent, and of course Sabbath, Zeppelin and Purple. That was my early teen years!
They were a great sounding band and produced some excellent tunes.
We all wanted to break out and make our way, ❤and BTO was an inspiration for us.
The music industry won`t allow timeless songs like this one to be made anymore.
Man I played this like mad . I was just a kid . My brother - in - law had a 66 Chevrolet with a 8 track tape player and BTO. Not Fragile “. He let me play this until I ran his car battery down . Memories .
This is when music was played by humans NOT computer
Just a couple of Vikings singing a song.
I'm 45 from Canada and raised on this stuff
My favorite song from that year, 1975, the year I graduated.
2024. I will always crank this to 11.
Me too! Love it! 😂
Still not loud enough!
Blair Thornton brought this band to another level. Excellent rhythm playing...
He sure did! And Blair’s mighty easy on this ladies eyes, so handsome😍🤩🥳
Love this band!
RIP Robbie Bachman. You just joined a long list of drummers in Rock and Roll Heaven.
Great to hear that Robbie and the other drummers up there all put their trust in Christ. 1 Tim. 2:5
He's not on that list. He's way above
There was not a better friend in the world to have than Robbie Bachman.
@@3qdxAmen.....will they all be there...only God Knows....👍🇬🇧🤓
@@bapete5159 Yes you're right. Only HE knows who has put their trust in His Son. John 3:18. We ain't gonna make it via our good works. Take care and God Bless.

I've posted many time about BTO not being very big here in England but to me they are phenomenal. One of my favourite bands. I don't know why they didn't hit the spot here . Awesome. Thank you Canada 🇨🇦
Great! Check out another Canadian band called TROOPER:: "We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)", "The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car", "General Hand Grenade", "Janine", "Two for the Show", "Oh, Pretty Lady”, and "Santa Maria".
@@royjohnson465 thank you. I will look them up
Love to hear this band made made waves 🌊 from across the big pond! ❤
Trooper was so good too! 💞🤘🎸
Badass Canadian rockers we love them dearly down in Tampa
My greatest part of my past was my generations metal and rock
that had far more awesome bands that I could remember so clear.
This 62 year old banger will always keep his hairs length
and his powerful music that keeps me going stronger with each year.
The music critics couldn't stand BTO but who cares; they rocked.
Critics are 99% wrong about the music , If YOU love it who cares what they think !
@@RWildekrav66 Absolutely.
@@RWildekrav66yeah and that goes for movies too
Get ready to pray.
Such an underrated band. Great rock songs, this being one of them...
no kidding..
top ten
Who underrated them?
2:12
That “word” again…😛
The fur coat just ADDS another level to the BEASTLY VOCALS ! I did see them live once . My memory is a little " fogged " , but I swear it was at The Fillmore East . The air was ALWAYS THICK there ! However , the Fillmore may have been closed BEFORE they toured . If anyone can fill that in , it was definitely in NYC .
I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975 and Thin Lizzy were the support group.
What a night grin 😁 👍
great memories back in the 70's......rock n roll! fun times
RIP Robbie Bachman. You will be a great drummer in heaven!!!!
Still, one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands of all time.
Proto Metal Bands
Never got the respect they deserved. Best Canadian rockers ever !!
😂
The greatest. #1
This is what good music sounds like
Brings back memories of camping trips, drinking on the beach, swimming, all good things!
Thank God we have this music video
Brilliant guitars fantastic singers with brilliant lyrics and fantastic vocals 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Such a great song and such a great band. Heard it many a time on WLS-Chicago during my 70s childhood. Thanks for posting. It is so easy for great songs to get lost in the shuffle. I haven't heard this one in quite some time. Glad for it to be back on my radar.
I live at the border of Kentucky and Tennessee and WLS was our go to radio station of a night when we could pick it up..............John Records Landecker....Was a great time..
Heck yeah .wolf man Jack and Larry Lujac! Animal stories to..
I was north of you by Lake Geneva, Wi. WLS with Larry LoJack & Snotnose Tommy were the BEST!!!
Lujack....
And little Tommy
Volume needs to be louder, please 🙏
Move over Dave Gilmore .!!!! There is a great rock guitar band .!!!
I've been hearing this song for 50 years. So interesting to see what these guys finally look like 😂😆🤪🧔♀️
My favorite BTO song!
I was a freshman in hs when this hit. Truly the best era of music.
Saw them when I was a senior in '77 !
Loved BTO, grew up with them, down here in Australia.
I remember my band learning this tune when it came out. There wasn't a Google to look up lyrics, and not all album sleeves had printed lyrics. We kept trying to understand what he was singing and sounded like garbled nonsense to us, so we sang what we thought he was singing 🤣🤣🤣
hahah awesome. Our band did the same when we were learning this in the 90s' I had to use one buddy who seemed to have a knack to hearing lyrics as none of us could figure them out and of course no google at the time. Hilarious
Best band in the history of music. Period.
One of my all time favorite songs. As a retired truck driver this song speaks to me.
Now Pay Attention Kiddies! THIS is a ROCK’N-ROLL SINGER, Singing in a ROCK’N-ROLL BAND. AND Yes that guy up there playing guitar REALLY just played that solo.
O Rock Dos Anos 70s. É Espetacular!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷☄🎸
Another sad loss in the music world. Rest In peace Robbie. Gone way too soon 🥁
Super music, super video 🎥... Good work! 😁👍 🇨🇿 Rocker from Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Touche' We grew up with the best music ever!
RIP Robbie Bachman.
2024- Fred Turners THUNDEROUS Vocals & Randy Bachmans Never Ending guitar Licks are INSANE!..The ENTIRE TRACK is the Epitome Of A HARDCORE 70's BANGER!!✌️
エアロスを前座に従えて ツアーやってたんだから、凄い!
me encanta Bachman Turner Over de los 70s grandes Rockeros 👍👌✌💛💜💚😄😄
Never was and never will be another bridge like the 3rd set, I could listen over and over again
Concordo! Nunca mais haverá outra geração como a dos anos 1970! Foi única! Especial! E eu faço parte dela com muito orgulho! Lamento que hoje tenha muita porcaria na mídia! Quero lembrar aos pretensos músicos da nova geração que existe o Conservatório de Música! Vão estudar e se aperfeiçoar para fazer música de qualidade! Chega de tanta musiquinha brega sem qualidade! Nossos ouvidos não merecem isso! Basta!
Ive been a fan now for over 45 years and I'm still listening to them. 'Rock is my life ( and this is my song )' is just perfection. BTO Forever!
I had a friend who grew up in England and I asked him if he heard of BTO there and he said " oh ya, they were big. We thought they were a bunch of big lumberjacks playing rock". I guess a bit of Canadian stereotyping there ha ha.
Move out boys, this car is a manual and has 4 more gears to go and another 3000 rpm left , let's get ready to race 🤪🤪
Awesome tune. Brings me back as a child in elementary school. Rock n roll at its finest. 😎 🤟🤟
Robbie Robbie Rest in peace, we will always miss you. We love your Robbie!!!!!!! 2023
Wow👍Randy Bachman is a Badasss Musical Genius☮️His Fender Stratocaster is making a Jingly disco rhythm & then he Slams it into OVERDRIVE for the HOTTEST GUITAR SOLO. KUDOS BROTHER👉🍺🍕🎸
Randy good lead guitar player BTO 😊
This song gives me the chills at 120 miles per hour...
It's very soothing at 168
Lord, that Randy sure could play ! 🙏🏻❤️🎸
1'55'' The most beautiful solo of all time
got to see them in concert several times in the 70s. cant go back to that time but the memories will do...
Lucky you!
Such an underrated song and underrated rocking band
Very nice mixture of Gibson and Fender + power vocals
Such great memories. They don't have musicians or music like this anymore. So sad!
What a fantastic guitar solo!
Me parece muy bien 🌹👍
Felicidades para ❤ 🌹 👏 ustedes
Un gran grupo ❤🎼🎤👏🌹
The guy playing base looks like a Viking. What I picture Eric the Red would look like. A Rocking Viking 👏🏻🌟🎤🎸🥰‼️
That would be C.F. "Fred" Turner on bass.
@@underdoggo9064 … Oops! I spelled bass wrong. I used to be a great speller. Part of getting old, I guess.
YOU AIN'T HEAR NOTHING YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This brings back memories of my childhood, still sounds amazing. Thank you BTO
RIP robbie
The ULTIMATE cruisin' for a bruisin' song. Best in a muscle car convertible.
Yes band rock music
I had the greatest experience seeing them in concert twice! Flint Michigan 73/75
